If you are like me and find reading Scott Moncrieff's Proust quite a challenging experience: endless sentences, little or no paragraphing, hardly a chapter division in sight - then you will find this audiobook a richly rewarding experience. Neither Andrew Coleman or the late Denny Sayers possesses a conventional audiobook voice (Oxbridge, received English) but what both offer is intelligence, sensitivity and, most important of all, an understanding of how Proust's unique narrating voice must be subtly paced, layered with the right pauses, to be properly understood and appreciated. The joy of this top quality Librivox recording is that in this way Proust and his world come vividly alive.
